Before a CCA chaplain starts work with a client, they will hold an orientation meeting to explain the benefits of chaplaincy, including chaplain confidentiality. This meeting is similar in tone and function to other benefits orientation meetings, with a time for questions. At the end of the orientation, employees receive a business card with the chaplain’s toll-free telephone number.

At the orientation, the employees learn that they, not the chaplain, make all decisions about interaction. In practice, virtually all employees eventually enjoy a good relationship with the chaplain simply because the chaplain is there for no other reason than to care.
